well, trust me boy, after a year of riding and occasional dunwich dynamos or whatever not with 120 miles in a row on a stripped saddle your balls start to cry for mercy.
unless you want to have plumbing of a 90-year-old in a few years time id advise to have atleast a bit of padding, seriously, trust me on this.
the reason to have a stripped saddle is that it doesn't rub in the bits you don't want it to. Also I like to make a bike as light as possible so then I can choose whether I take more weight with me and how i distribute that weight when i cycle.
